I think this can be done this way:

Create a new type of module named "*.gsp" ;-). This kind of module will be 
processed by the compiler in a special manner so that the special character 
sequences '<%'...'%>' and '<%='...'%>' will be replaced by Gambas code that 
send the HTML in the response.

The ASP syntax must be extended. A syntax should allow automatic HTML 
encoding.

Then create an Apache module (how ??) that calls a persistant gambas 
interpreter to get the pages, and that manages (how ??) a Application and a 
Session object.

Or don't create an Apache module. Create instead a Gambas component that 
transforms the interpreter in a http server transparently, and that manages 
Application and Session objects.

This is just I DON'T want, because making applications internally scriptable 
like all Microsoft things lead to the virus nightmare.

No.
